Boho-chic proved to be among 2025’s most triumphant trends - with the ethereal fad effortlessly translating into 2026 dress codes. Chloé played a pivotal role in defining the boho-chic aesthetic, with Chemena Kamali’s work at the house redefining the trend with her nuanced understanding of the brand’s heritage.
The creative director, who took over from Gabriela Hearst, drew from Chloé’s Seventies roots, embracing that era’s free-spirited, effortless femininity while adding modern touches to widespread acclaim. Her collections have brought back signature boho staples like flared trousers, tiered skirts, and crochet designs, infused with sun-faded fabrics and rich floral prints, that have since trickled down to the high street.
Think of the trend as what happens when a free spirit meets a fashion editor’s wardrobe. Sienna Miller basically invented the look in the mid-2000s, turning London streets into her personal Coachella runway - vintage frocks, oversized sunglasses, and boots forming the foundation of her street style roster.

Don’t get us wrong, we’re not just talking about flower power crowds and Hunters. The movement lends itself whole-heartedly to the cool enigma of Stevie Nicks, while retaining an element of fun, flirtatious style that piques interest from passersby.

As WGSN's Catwalks Senior Strategist Kim Cupido previously told: "Romantic aesthetics will continue to infuse collections, and for SS26, this will take two distinct directions. The first story, one we’ve named Nu Romantic, will use soft volumes, dusted pastels, delicate lace and 3D floral trims to give pieces a heirloom look. Opposing this will be a darker, more subversive take on romance themes, using layered sheers and distressed edges to give an unpolished direction to theatrical and boudoir-like aesthetics, creating a theme we’ve dubbed Haunted Cabaret."
